my grandchild, the something with his life said he lives well, but he doesn't want to live here to leave the country and take my family with me. life in cuba is that there's hardly any food. cubans emigrated in record numbers last is one way for the government to convince more people to stay with it, to get more fear of people's place. the . despite the dangers, tens of thousands of people are making a desperate journey for a better life in the us. the countries across the region are struggling to cope. i'll just say era has correspondence on the ground. i'm doing the home on the go up the amount of mexico food where record numbers of people being crossing that river, trying to get to the united states. and i'm going to see a new woman in that that young gap, which has been described as the most treacherous part of the attorney, thousands of libraries,

as you can see here in the guardian. the lot from de hon. carry, jones to another news making headlines. the bill is past some of that objection. the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. us house of representatives approves a stop gap funding plan to prevented government shutdown, but with no money for ukraine is now headed to the senate's armenia says many or as the comedians living in the going to kind of back of now left despite the assurances of safety by us, the volley, sean, and the u. n. ones on hundreds of thousands of susan, these refugees are running out of food in eastern chance. the . the 10s of thousands of people are walking through treacherous jungles waiting

type it in waters through countries and central and south america. in the hope of a better life in the us. some of the lien conflict, someone to weigh out of poverty, desperate living conditions of those making the power of this journey from south america face a particularly thing, just obstacle, the diarrhea and gap is a stretch of jungle between columbia and panama. number of people crossing is here to record high of 400000. so for this, yeah, i'll just say was don't home and is in southern mexico, near the border with the call to mazda, to take us through the conditions that the 1st has all latin america edits. of you see a newman who sent us this report from the diarrhea and gap in panama, one of the wells most dangerous migrant moves. i mean that, that in gap and this has baffled to people, the 1st populated area where it has, it doesn't have running water. it doesn't have electricity. but at least that does have occasional wi fi and the migrants can stop for a while, there was an old post to help a health office, very,

very small. the places at full of mud people are coming here. they've been, they're desperate. in fact, because they were roberts, with the majority of the people in the to the you see here were rob, a few women were raped. things are getting more and more dangerous, more difficult here in this passage through that, that in gap on the attempted trip. cuz united states, but still the people just keep coming every day, a huge between 3 and 5000 migrants passes through a small indigenous hamlets in that, that in jungle. close to the end of a treacherous journey to the 130 kilometer long that you can get the same goal. yeah, 5 long days indicates christopher they play scorching heat, much mosquitoes, poisonous snakes, contaminated river water and bends equity. y'all, though our group was robbed at gunpoint due to all over money and food. the freaks

the women's chests to see if we were hiding our money there. in any event, when i were joining this group on the last leg of their jungle crossing, you may wonder how all of these people don't get lost in the jungle. something that is so easy to do. and the reason that they don't release the majority of them don't, is that they're told to follow these markers. they're blue pieces of blue plastic, that service ribbons and they go all the way down outside of this jungle. everyone who's hands to prove salad and smoke crossing the river into back, which you people might antonio, somebody i know kerry, he's handicapped suddenly the entire journey. he says he had to leave in his way because there are no end to come. walsh and drugs there, but his son, one vehicle, the baby who was being treated right now is suffering from diarrhea, vomiting and fever. but he is not the only one, just about everyone who's come here to this health center has exactly the same symptoms or even worse. no one comes out of the jungle with nothing unscathed.

just outside woman screams in pain as another vintage wailing. margaret, i mailed verse treats her for trench foot. scores of people can barely walk in your mind. you tells me is traumatized on the why are still open. it's one woman with a baby, died after she fell into the water when she slipped on a rock. too many people are dying in a jungle. it's hill on us. the next morning, the migrants form an endless line to get a seat on a beat, our long couldn't do like books that would bring them 3 hours down river to a town where they can get a bus to the cost to become a lawyer. the majority of it is wailings, but it's becoming more like the united nations people have come from as far away as china. let me lease and africa also hoping to make it to the united states.

as they leave a new group arrives. they seem to think that they could have survived that, that'd be a gap. and also across the us border. even though objectively the words could still be a hit to see and human elgin's era that in depth, panama now has gone home and at the mexico, guatemala, both with thousands of people waiting to cross on the mexican government struggles to cope with the unprecedented numbers. this is the suggest, the river, which is the border between guatemala and mexico. here and every day, 6000 people have been crossing over the river to get to mexico and continued to the united states. according to the mexican government, which is said that it's overwhelming. you can see over here that there are tense, where people are camping, waiting for buses from the mexican government to take them on in the route and to the pressure rights of the government says this area you'll see more in our pool

mich koses, it's over whelmed that $6000.00 migrants today, the crossing here, the southern border, and looking to push on twits, know the name of the united states. is this the quote it exceeds whatever capacity we have? even the mexico wants to do a good job and use the many, the 1st city they reach is tough to, to, to just a few kilometers from the guatemalan buddha. it's pulled towards the flowing people have been queueing to days outside the mobile asylum will do the papers, try and get through the country. but we've been here for 4 days. sleeping on the floor. it's rained on us, then the sun, we sleep in the queue. so we don't lose our place and call one of the the, the government. so we can always buses 2 and it's woods, the pressurized puppy to live and take people to be processed in another nearby city. some people want to go, it's the rep the route,

but there are not enough seats. so another comes in that the, by the roadside with money is stephanie and the family a way to i, you know, some people have time. we don't, we lost everything after leaving the diary and got a so has been out in the open. and if it trains where are we going to shelter? and with the children to the funeral home, the nova bowed the same story, the one to see it on squatters, matamoros who migrant cities for, for this is just a small number of the people heading through top of to the mexico. right now. where are they from some of, from venezuela, a country where 7000000 people have left them recent years, playing a ruined economy summer from hate see playing terrible game violence and hunger in that country. a visit from cuba, a visit from nicaragua. there's various countries in this region right now that

have political instability or economic instability, an order of them hoping to find something better in the united states. other countries that they're traveling through are also struggling with the rush coast to the cost is just declared. the state of emergency mets can president lopez over the door has cooled for regional governments to meet and try and hash out a plan for those who are almost at the end. it is uh, you know, meanwhile those at the hall, this continue the journey, sleeping rough, suffering, hunger, and extortion. only the dream of safety and prosperity in the united states keeps then going on home and out. is it a substitute for in the us? immigration is turned into a campaign issue ahead of next year's presidential election to the site. mike couldn't send the site and see because it being turned into political pawns from engine reports from phoenix, arizona. this republicans are making the surgeon illegal migrants the main issue in the 2020 for presidential campaign. if you come here illegally,

we will apprehend you and we will send you back militarize the southern border. stop funding st. george the cities. it's a winning issue, according to a september nbc pool. it found that 50 percent of americans think the republican party does a better job of dealing with border security. only 20 percent. say, democrats do politically, it's an easy, escaped up political science professor, lisa mcdaniel says it's convenient to demonize and documented migrants. it's an easy way to blame the issues on it is a target and because emigrants cannot vote, i think that happens quite a bit. get across the us. americans remain stubborn. lee, proud to call their home a nation of immigrants. more than 2 thirds of americans. 68 percent. think immigration overall is a good thing. according to a july gallup poll. or even if people got to come here for a better life, the should be able to but that number is the lowest level of support for immigration in

a decade. you having this huge rise in crime and this huge human surprise. but no type of demick that is a large and part to this massive illegal immigration voters are divided with 73 percent of republicans wanting to decrease immigration, which is 18 percent of democrats feel the same at state capitals and mayor's offices across the u. s. lawmakers are struggling to cope with the cost of the migrant search, and it's not just border states like arizona that are feeling the pain. in chicago and other liberals sanctuary. cities bus loads it mostly venezuelan refugees arrive every week. ship from the border by texas. governor gray gab prompts in a political battle over immigration. for many, the welcome is less than war, a spot on the police station floor, or public sidewalks if you're caught, you know, and they deport you well, have a nice trip home. if they don't catch you welcome to america,

show more and more illegal migrants come to live in twilight status. that often can't be resolved without an act of congress in a nation that hasn't taken on comprehensive immigration reform in decades. john henry and l g 0. phoenix, arizona. last spring and crystals and now he's assistant professor of government at the american university. he's always a slide from washington dc. welcome to the program. so politics can change rapidly, of course, but how big an issue is this last you to be in the presidential election? do you think? well, i think we 1st months ago, this is a deeply moral issue. as your introduction makes clear, this is about human beings seeking a better life and sometimes there, and i think i can only say if i were in their situation i, i wish that i that i would be as brave as them. the political perspective, the republicans as you point out, will certainly try and make this an issue. i think that is, that is shameless. they are trying to demonize,

they are trying to paint human beings as, as animals. donald trump has done this expressly. i'm not sure it's a winning issue for though donald trump promised to build a border wall. the next the board pay for it did did not happen. he ran a decision in 2018 republicans law. you ran into the 2020 you law. there's polling for 2020. that suggests that this is not a winning issue for up against that could change as time. of course, one cannot say for sure, but 1st and foremost it is a moral issue, and i think any politician must make that clear. but you mentioned donald trump that and he support base. it does seem to mobilize them, doesn't fit, but does it alienate the latino both? has it well in a white a sense as it certainly could. the pulling not familiar with the election night in 2020, showed that 43 percent of voters said that donald trump policies made it less likely they would support them. 33 percent said more likely. i'd certainly search

specific groups might suburban women, latino could, could especially be repelled by this by this kind of uh, your monitoring. i think that's a dangerous game. there's been evidence that actually latino is have supported down from more than one might have expected. but i think you certainly playing a dangerous game because if you demonizes immigrants that certainly could, could uh, amy and a latino voters. what about the current administration then? how did they position themselves on this issue? well, i hope that they will present it as a moral issue. i think far too often they are defensive about this. i think they need to make to keep what they need to say. donald trump has no solution here. he was present or for 4 years he promised to build a wall. it didn't happen the promise back. but before it didn't happen, he uses hatred and fear to divide people. and sometimes people get killed over this . donald trump is called immigrants innovators. we had to mass shootings in pittsburgh and on paso, when people who believe what he was saying, believe it ever been surveyed or academics and then the big show of hispanics and

you. and so the 1st thing is i think they should describe this in more. busy terms and i think they should also point out that as i said, donald trump has no solution here. republicans up the solution here, there was a seem to be a bipartisan agreement 20 years ago. it fell apart because republicans have decided it's easier to score political bunch on this and it has a come up with the real solutions we should be helping these people. caesar of human beings, and i think democratic need to make that pace rather than the defensive about this as you're saying human beings. so to what extent is this an easy hits for republicans diverting attention away from other issues with perhaps they feel weak? of course, i mean, i think the central issue, the democrats would like to seen the selection is donald trump, himself, this is a man who incited insurrection in january 6 was impeach for that. it is now facing criminal charges related to not only the attack on the capital, but also other offenses in 4 different jurisdictions. so i think they might see

emigration as a way to distract from that. if i are the democrats, i would say, wait a 2nd. this is all about donald trump. do you want more of this? we've seen what donald trump was like for 4 years. he said, i can't repeat his words because they are seen. he said, we don't want immigrants from african countries from, from an 80. we want to find norway, this is an environmental racism. i don't know whether it's popular. i do not think it is, but i hope it isn't that i think the democrats need to make this clear to voters, many of whom i think abroad, tired of donald trump racism in an age for the end division. okay, we'll leave it at chris at us and we appreciate your time. thank you. thank you very much. i appreciate it. and staying in the us, where politicians from both sides of the i will have a long night ahead on the capital to try and stuff with government shut down. in the past few hours, the house of representatives passed a stop gap measure that could have but a government shut down for the 45 day funding bill that came in. the republican

controlled house just hours before the current funding deal expires on the bill. and i will need the pos in the set up and go to present by them before shutdown can be fully avoided. but a plan does not include additional funding for ukraine. versus what the senate wanted to do was focused on ukraine in front of america. i understand our responsibilities, but i'm going to put america 1st. if there's a moment of time, we need to have a discussion about that. we will have a discussion completely about that. but i think the administration has to make the case for record of victory. and i've asked the administration to come down and talk to our members about that white honda joins us live, not from washington dc. mike, so star get funding measures approved by the house, but to within the proposed framework of no money for ukraine. indeed, yes. well,

that was an issue that many republicans in the house would deeply oppose to how they had and republicans in the senate as well. so it appears that as a form of compromise at this, what stripped out of this continuing resolution bill? now obviously, many democrats upset about this, however, they greeted the chief in the interest of getting this bill through well aware of the dangers of not meeting this at midnight a deadline. however, at the moment, the question is whether there's another twist in the tail. the senate was supposed to convene about half an hour ago to vote on this bill. however, there is no sign whatsoever to send it to emerging at this particular stage. so not quite clear exactly what is going on, because what does need to happen is that the senate votes on it, and then if it is passed by a $6040.00 boat, it would then go to president biden for signature before becoming law. everything has to happen within the next few hours before that midnight deadline would indeed

is interesting what you say that it would have shut down look lock if it happens as well. the country has experienced shutdowns before the most recent though was a partial stuff done. some of the funding had been given that was in 20182019 as the last time in which there was a shut down in which no funding had been advanced, the whole was back in 2013. that lasted for 2 weeks. and so they had a massive impact on the economy. the most immediate situation at the present, it is not the agreement, and the next few hours is the 2 weeks into october. that's when the military get the paychecks. 2000000 people who if the is not on the agreement, they will not get paid. now they, along with other federal workers would have to either continue working without pay off a go on leave immediately without pay. so the immediate impact, certainly in terms of on federal work cuz there would be a massive impact on terms of the ordinary americans. also

a massive impact because of the economic be through the lack of confidence, perhaps in united states because of such a shut down. all of this will have a ripple effect and the longer any shut down last the fall was it would get. mike, thanks very much. a senior government officials in cost of of total to 0. that certainly has withdrawal. and some of its troops from the board for the warnings from the us. there's been a shot rising tension in majority ethics regions in northern costa. but that's the area one said the air of tentative measures for to describe as an unprecedented troop build up on the cost of a boat up. it was a gun baffle last week. that sort for ethics said fighters and one call 7 policemen killed for the monks has more from the cost, but it's competent. christina, to at least half a day, the government, the cost of, of insisted it was prepared to defend its territory, the integrity following what it called,

a deployment of serbian forces. thousands of military installations alongside the border between the 2 countries. president alex, on the voltage, soviet insisted he was not prepared to cross the border into costa, but with his forces because of at home his country's hopes of joining the european union. that'd been calls from both the e u and the united states for the escalation in the situation. and following that, the prime minister's office here in kosovo telling out as they are, they have now confirmed that has been a partial roll down of some sub in forces. but also insisting that continuing to assess the scale of the partial retreats below marks out as the era. christina, cost of the so to come on the, i'll just say are the results in the old days show opposition comes at the, how many movies. it's winning the presidential run of the

the brought to you by visit capital. here's your headlines for the america. so after this disturbance dumped copious amounts of rain on new york city, we saw a record rainfall. it's now pushed out toward the advantage. so that's gonna replace a much calmer condition sunshine in new york with a height of 23 degrees on sunday. what weather is still draped over the us state of florida. that means another dept in miami at 32 degrees and for the us south west active weather here know over the peaks of the rocky mountains. i think we'll see some snow look at boise in idaho. 14 degrees on sunday. that's below average for this some year. western canada, fairly cool, but for the eastern prairies were hanging onto some heat because of a southerly wind. so when it takes up to $28.00, your temperatures will fall off on monday. central america is fairly typical. weather is here, but i want to show you around the eastern caribbean, we've got 2 tropical storms. they looked to steer north, no major impact,

but i think it will whip up the waves a bit and a few showers and those winds picking up and nothing major had pretty major heat through the amazon in brazil. same for french guy and a certain non. and guy and a temperature is running above average here. if we look at that southeast corner of brazil, once again, active weather being amplified with moisture of the south atlanta on sunday, that's a snapshot of your weather. see, the weather brought to you by visit cuts on the

the, [000:00:00;00] the fucking back or mind of a main. the headlines as many as 9000 people are attempting to across the us mexico border every day. many of travel through several countries and nothing back to get them to mexico. every single mike and shelter is now its full capacity. the us congress has agreed to a short term funding deal to invest a government shutdown. it's. it's a strong because of the full 5 days for the bill must be approved by the senate and signed my present check point before midnight. and nearly all the estimated 120000

an essay on meetings thinking they're going to kind of back and us a bunch on a flood. the region, the known on media, it took less than a week to enter an area that's just had an effect on being in presence, the hundreds of years. a persecution off that was about zone to control the inquiry last week. but it smith reports on how people go about rebuilding their lives from a village house in the hills of the going no kind of back to a temporary, unfurnished, flat an hour outside the arrow than any gregorian. husband suggests battalion and the children must auto everything. they owned they left behind in the rush to leave chase, but we never imagined leaving. we thought maybe they will give a small part of the land and it will come down or that they would negotiate and come to some agreement. but we didn't think that cut about who would be left with no armenians. as about jones, as the ethnic are meaning,

security is guaranteed. but no one had believed them. tens of thousands of people have died fighting for and against, and the going to kind of back in the last 30 years of the men of our generation cannot live with the observer. johnny's maybe the women could live somehow or the elderly. when i talked to my grandfather, he says, well, we were living together, but then maybe their generation can somehow deal with it and live together. but our generation cannot. we saw so many wars. how can a person who buried the son didn't even see him adopted to living with them? the families staying with relatives until i find furniture, but the flight is only bad for 2 months loans until the own is returned after years abroad. i think it might be possible to go back in a few years. you know, i hope it might. my husband has big hopes and he's saying yes, we will go back. but i don't know for now the money is worried about schools some

and how they make ends meet. they'll meet and govern, says is coordinating with age groups and try to use to help provide accommodation, financial support, medical and psychological aid, to help families. we build that long, but it's a significant challenge for a poor country. let's just see this population increased by 4 percent in less than a week. bonus smith, which is 0 yet, or any results and them all these shows that a position candidate made. louise is on close to when the presidential run of ways favors closer ties to china as a time when india has been fixing it's economic cloud in the mode. these is challenge and incumbent at present. abraham solving had favorite india. first approach, tony trading has more from the capital money. the election officials still tossing up the final titles in the polling station behind me. but it's clear to the mold. these has the new president. though,

to mohammed movies now has an unassailable lead. he will be the new president of the mold thieves and his progressive policy of the mole davis will take power. now there are going to be lots of questions asked. we met a, c, d, a n d p politician earlier this afternoon, who was very gloomy. he felt the pauses in the 1st policy, it had costs than the poles. more of the p. i'm returning to power the form of president. yeah. mean is still in jail. will he not be released? and what kind of a, a government will a p p. m form, but those are all questions for the days and weeks to come. tony cheng l to 0, monday and not to nations as well, and that time is running out for hundreds of thousands of suits and these refugees and eastern chad officials safe food supplies were lost beyond the 2. but in cases of malnutrition or increasing interest reports from audrey on the chat to sit on

board, robert grease prepared families, long term cornflower and while trucks. it's the 1st and last meal of the day. i gotta be the wife plans help a lot. sometimes we go entire days with nothing to eat except that not at all just as they are lucky. many of the families it will go to bed with empty comics tonight . the united nations is running out of food for these refugees. all right, it's quite a struggle to ensure every family receives one meal a day. now if issues, i'll say that unless help arrives by the end of october, people will stop. this is how much stock is left in the world for programs white house in the capital in german. so it's like more than a 1000000. so the thing is, refugees currently depend on if we don't really see those people we are, it's really going to because that's perfect because people are all dying. people

always continue to die up to another page. the coping mechanism of those refugees, all just terrible. the rainy season has worse and the situation with flooded roads, making it difficult to deliver the little ada available. on the other hand, the weather has slowed the influx of new arrivals, but still there is a major impact on the local population. they are in a tight situation themselves as well because of water and sanitation and food is the same, whatever. and they have to share. we are trying to cover as many needs as we can. as i said, we're only funded up to 27 percent of, of our needs the same at ease. we've already given agencies that are supporting respiratory exponents in the east and of chart charge, you know, sort just say the smaller piece of arrivals is only temporary and they expect another $200000.00 people to cross into the country by the end of the this could push the population of food. it is refugees in china to more than $1200000.00
